User maintenance procedures
❏Boiler must be serviced & maintained
The boiler should be inspected and started annually, at the beginning of the heating season, only by a qualified service technician. In addition, the maintenance and care of the boiler designated on page 5 and explained on the following pages must be performed to assure maximum boiler effi- ciency and reliability. Failure to service and maintain the boiler and sys- tem could result in equipment failure, causing possible severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
The following information provides detailed instructions for completing the maintenance items listed in the maintenance schedule, page 5. In ad- dition to this maintenance, the boiler must be serviced and started up at the beginning of each heating season by a qualified service technician.

Check boiler area
To prevent potential of severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage, eliminate all materials discussed below from the boiler vicinity. If contami- nants are found:
Remove products immediately from the area. If they have been there for an extended period, call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and vent sys- tem for possible damage from acid corrosion.
If products cannot be removed, immediately call a qualified service technician to install an outside com- bustion air source for the boiler (if not already in- stalled).
1.Combustible/flammable materials — Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or any other flam- mable vapors or liquids near the boiler. Remove immediately if found.
2.Air contaminants — Products containing chlorine or fluorine, if allowed to contaminate the boiler intake air, will cause acidic condensate in the vent and boiler. This will cause significant damage to the vent and/or boiler if allowed to continue. Read the list of potential materials listed on page 4 of
this manual. If any of these products are in the room from which the boiler takes its combustion air, they must be removed immediately or the boiler combustion air must be supplied from out- side. See WARNING above.
Check air openings
1.Verify that combustion and ventilation air open- ings to the boiler room and/or building are open and unobstructed.
2.Verify that boiler vent discharge and air intake are clean and free of obstructions. Remove any debris on the air intake or flue exhaust openings.
Check boiler pressure/ temperature gauge
1.Make sure the pressure reading on the boiler pres- sure/temperature gauge does not exceed 24 psig. Higher pressure may indicate a problem with the expansion tank.
Contact a qualified service technician if problem persists.
